have marked platyspondyly with widened<br />
disc spaces. There are two forms,<br />
TD 1 and TD 2, with the latter dist<strong>in</strong>guished<br />
by the appearance <strong>of</strong> a<br />
"cloverleaf" pattern to the skull.<br />
Osteogenesis imperfecta occurs <strong>in</strong><br />
several forms. There is a lethal per<strong>in</strong>atal<br />
form <strong>in</strong> which fractures appear <strong>in</strong> long<br />
bones even <strong>in</strong> utero. This condition is<br />
due to an abnormal synthesis <strong>of</strong> type 1<br />
collagen that forms connective tissues,<br />
<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g bone matrix. Thanatophoric<br />
dysplasia, radiograph and osteogenesis<br />
imperfecta, radiograph.<br />
Placental abnormalities:<br />
Abruptio placenta: Premature separation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the placenta near term, with<br />
retroplacental blood clot. Abruptio placenta,<br />
gross: Placenta previa: Low ly<strong>in</strong>g<br />
implantation site can lead to hemorrhage<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g delivery. Velamentous <strong>in</strong>sertion:<br />
Cord vessels splay out <strong>in</strong> the membranes<br />
before reach<strong>in</strong>g the placental disk and<br />
predispose to trau-matic rupture.<br />
Velamentous <strong>in</strong>sertion, gross, long short<br />
cord: Umbilical cord length is<br />
determ<strong>in</strong>ed by the amount <strong>of</strong> fetal<br />
movement. More movement <strong>in</strong>-creases<br />
cord length.<br />
A long cord can become entangled with<br />
the baby or more easily prolapse. Nuchal<br />
cord, gross, true knot <strong>of</strong> umbilical cord,<br />
gross and tw<strong>in</strong> placenta: Monozygous<br />
tw<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g is associated with <strong>in</strong>creased<br />
risk for both abnormalities and accidents.<br />
A tw<strong>in</strong> transfusion syndrome can occur<br />
when a vascular anastomosis is present:<br />
Vascular anastomosis <strong>in</strong> placenta, gross,<br />
vascular anastomosis <strong>in</strong> placenta, gross<br />
and hypertension: Vascular changes can<br />
be associated with pregnancy <strong>in</strong>duced<br />
hypertension (PIH) and the more severe<br />

complications <strong>of</strong> eclampsia and<br />
preeclampsia. Decidual arteriopathy,<br />
